Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Hello!i purchased this 1987 dodge colt vista wagon used in 1999 and initially when purchased the auto/transmission floated out of gear in a busy area and would not move,until i played with the lever,and finally it jumped into gear.it happens at various times and i must sit in car at an idle at least 5minutes before transmission will work!second problem is manifold is leaking and also motor oil is leaking unto manifold and causes a lot of smoke under engine and out the exhaust.i understand there are recalls already on some models of the 1987 dodge colt vista sw according to alldata.com.the whole system must be replaced(manifold and exhaust) and the transmission should be repaired because the car will float out of car anywhere!!the emmision is very bad at this time do to smoke from car!*ak
